We could have done multiple different things to try and attract a certain audience. These things would possibly be through the conventions of the film and the way we filmed and directed the opening scene would have shaped how enticed our audience. Our audience could of been attracted too via the things we aimed for such as a specific target audience.
Since our desired target audience was teenagers/young adults we based everything we did in the film around that. So firstly one thing we did that we thought would attract and audience was that we had an enticing and gripping narrative. This would bring in an audience of thrill seekers and people that are hungry for some suspense. The plot was based on making a normal, every day teenager seem like a complete simpleton but then to spin it around and you to find out that he is a psychotic killer which really turns the film on its head and keeps the audience guessing.
Another thing we did that grasps a certain target audience was make the main antagonist male. Which we thought would address the film more towards men as they can put it into perspective and really relate to what is going on the screen. Even though we didn't want to have a specific gender typed audience, but because both of our characters are male it does kind of lean towards more of a male audience even though we didn't intend it too. Also since the actual genre of the film is quite violent and potentially gory, stereotypically this could attract more men to our film rather than women since typically women are into rom-coms and films that involve romance whereas with a man they typically tend to go for thrillers and horrors with a lot violence and blood.
Here I have summarised my audience feedback:
